lyrics

in the face of the beautiful dead
a consumptive smile has no place
get it done make it quick
i won't clutch for my better day my better day
if i appear so tragic on the page it's exorcism
if i awake with razors in my hands
don't soothe or touch me
the iron bit of destiny leads me away
into another fallacy for today
stupid grab make it quick
i won't grasp for a sharper day a sharper day
if i appear so tragic on the page it's exorcism
if i awake with razors in my hands
don't soothe or touch me

Alien Skin recommends:

Je Veux EP
by RoBERT

Haunting female French voice, menacing at times with melancholic atmosphere in the music. Alien Skin
go to album
Sine
by RoBERT

Quirky melodic 1993 electronic pop from France. I love the adventurous atmosphere in the music & the breathy crystalline vocals of RoBERT. A blend of infectious alt electropop with esoteric influences Alien Skin
